Short Bio/Description:

Thrar was the only child in a sailor/merchant family. He came from a long line of sailors, and his father had moved his family often between the mainland Dregor and the Island Kingdon of Calishan.

His life at sea lead him far afield. He learned the necessities of life aboard ship - like how to use a cutlass to protect his belongings, how to skewer a rat from 50 feet with a well-thrown dagger, and how to duck when the occasional sword, fist, or arrow came his way.

He also met scores of different races while at sea. He feels he can reasonable talk his way out of bad situations with whomever he has to deal with - from dwarves to orcs.

There were two important events which have come to shape Thrar's life.

The first occured while he was still quite young. His father, more a merchant than the sailors customary in his family, took him to a cemetary in Calishan and to the crypt of his great-grandfather, Elros, a family legend who had close ties with an elven royal family of an island kingdom near Mistone.

Thrar's father manipulated the surface of the stone to reveal a recess holding an object wrapped in a shimmering purple cloth. With trembling hands, Thrar's father shed the cloth to reveal a dull metal disc which seemed to picture a large oak tree standing over a bow and a harp. Disappointed at the disc's dull sheen, Thrar did not sense anything remotely unique or valuable about the item. Yet his father held the disc with reverence and, without talking his eyes off it, told his son "This does not belong to me... or to you, Thrar. It is a marker, a debt, which must and will be repaid. If the obligation is fulfilled in my lifetime, you will know. If I die, you will receive this pledge and have to fulfill the obligation."

Thrar's father then wrapped the disc and placed it back within the crypt. He would speak no more of it on the travel home, and the next day would ignore all questions and treated the situation as if it never happened. Despite Thrar's efforts, his father would say no more.

The second event occurred years later, while Thrar was at sea. He began to hear stories of vile and horrific happenings at his home. Rumors of undead ancestors rising to slay their descendents, and homes being destroyed.

Thrar rushed to his home only to find it long empty and, like the rest of the homes in his villiage, in ruins. No one he knew survived, and though he found charred remains, he did not find a sign of his family. Searching among his torn and charred home, he found a box belong to his father. In it, there was a flat stone and a note which said "Thrar, the debt is now yours".

After days of grief and despair, Thrar traveled to the tomb his father had shown him and used the stone to open the compartment he had seen before. He pulled the disc from the cloth and examined it again. It was the last link to his family and, he somehow knew, held a clue as to what happened to his home. He put the disk in his pack, and grimly set out down the path.

Thrar has spent the time since that fateful day going from port to port, land to land, searching for what happened to his family.

Description: Thrar is of middle height and slightly built with dark features. He has lately been more sullen with his failure to find his family and the disk. He is generally quick to try to prove himself and generally has a good, if sometimes misguided, heart. He also has a sense of wonder for different places and people. He feels most at home at or near the sea.

Note: The disc is not magic in any way (although the charactar Thrar does not know that for certain). It does not have any signficance in the the larger world, but it is important for his fate. I would like a little leeway to explore its significance for him as his character develops)
